Dr Oz did a show called the Best and Worst for 2010, which included a segment on the Best & Worst Weight Loss ideas including the best and worst Diet Pills, snacks, Metabolism Boosters, packaged foods and exercise. Doctor Oz said that Saturday is the best day to start a diet and Monday is the worst day to start a new diet. When you go grocery shopping for your new diet, the best aisle is the produce aisle and the worst aisle is the checkout lane because of the impulse candy purchases. The best place to eat in your house is in the dining room, and the worst place is in the kitchen. These are just a few of Dr Oz’s Best & Worst Weight Loss tips, here are the rest:

Dr Oz: Worst Diet Pills: Ephedrine

Dr Oz said that the worst diet pills are the ones that contain Ephedrine or Phed for short.

Dr Oz: Best Diet Pills: Glucomannan

Dr Oz said that Glucomannan is a natural thickening agent that costs $10 at vitamin stores and is the best diet pill to try. Glucomannan is used in Asia to thicken up soups, so you should take it with lots of water.

Dr Oz: Worst Snack for Weight Loss: Granola Bars

Dr Oz said that the worst snacks are any bars: meal replacement bars, granola bars or even protein bars. You may think that it is good for you, but it often is not because they are made with sugar alcohols that bloat you and there tends to be lots of sugar. The side effects simply are not worth it!

Dr Oz: Best Snack: Inca Peanuts or Sacha Inchi Nuts
